We lived on the north side of the city in the neighborhood of the Chicago Cube where I became a die hard fan. Somewhere in elementary school I became interested in science. Not that I excelled in the subject, but it got my interest over other areas. In high school I played football and was the smallest member of the team. Of course having this stature I got roughed up more than anyone else. I was also the school’s chief mischief maker pretty much getting into all kinds of trouble and being known vary famously to the schools disciplinarian. But somehow I managed to graduate after which I entered the Air Force. Over the period of twenty one years I earned a degree in aeronautical engineering and went to Officers Training school. I became a navigator in the B-52 bomber in which three missions stand out. The first is where we flew off the west coast at low level in search of Soviet trawlers to photograph with our onboard camera. The second mission I flew as the lead bomber navigator of three B-52's orbiting a specific location over the north polar ice cap. And the third mission I flight tested the brand new Global Positioning System known at that time as Navstar for navigation and weapons delivery accuracy. After retiring from the Air Force I obtained a position as a reservist with the Federal Emergency Management Agency. When there was a declared disaster I was called out to work in the disaster field helping those that survived or were affected by the disaster to get assistance. I have seen much damage and helped hundreds in their quest to return to a normal life. In the late 1990's I moved from Chicago to Las Vegas to get away from the cold and state income tax. OK, I also wanted to play poker. After 19 years I call Las Vegas my home. I have won many local tournaments with the attitude of winning the big one at the World Series of Poker.lihat lebih sedikit
